    Abstract Introduction: Candida auris is an emerging pathogen in health care-associated infections. In contrast to many other countries with rising numbers of C. auris, only seven cases have been reported in Germany from 2015 to 2017, mostly from patients who received prior medical treatment abroad. We therefore established a mandatory screening for C. auris colonisation at our tertiary care centre for all patients who were admitted as international patients or previously hospitalised in a foreign country within the past 6 months.
    Methods: Colonisation of patients was assessed using a previously established screening protocol for multidrug resistant bacteria. Since 2017, all screening samples were additionally analysed for C. auris using CHROMagar Candida (CHROMagar, Paris, France). Yeast isolates were identified using matrix-assisted laser ionisation time-of-flight (MALDI TOF), except for C. albicans (identified by the typical green colour on chromogenic agar). Data were analysed retrospectively.
    Results: Our study cohort included 655 patients and an overall number of 1399 samples. Fifty-three patients were colonised with Candida species (C. albicans, n = 37; C. glabrata, n = 14; others n = 9). No case of C. auris was detected. Candida spp. were mainly detected from respiratory samples (5.4% positive) and gastrointestinal specimen (5.2%). Laboratory costs were 14,689 € and analyses resulted in 98.7 h of additional technician's work.
    Conclusion: No colonisation with C. auris was detected among patients with previous hospitalisation abroad. Universal C. auris screening of patients with any contact to foreign health care does not seem to be cost-effective in our setting and more targeted screening strategies have to be developed.

    Abstract Background: Extreme immature infants are at an increased risk of fungal infection due to immaturity of the skin barrier and the immune system. Besides Candida infections, in particular, Aspergillus may cause life-threatening diseases in preterm infants. Frequently, Aspergillus primarily affects the skin and may cause extensive damage.
    Methods: We searched our hospital database for fungal infections other than Candida in preterm infants treated between 2015 and 2020 at our level III neonatal intensive care unit of the University Hospital of Cologne.
    Results: In total, 13 preterm infants were identified. Of these, 11 had cutaneous Aspergillosis, one infant had severe enterocolitis caused by Aspergillus and Rhizopus and one had invasive intraabdominal Trichosporon mucoides infection. All infants were born <24 weeks of gestation, were delivered due to premature labor or chorioamnionitis, and had received prenatal steroids and/or hydrocortisone. Voriconazole and liposomal Amphotericin B were first-line treatments and the length of treatment varied between 3 and 148 days. Two infants died associated with severe infection. Liver toxicity was observed in six infants treated with Voriconazole. Therapeutic drug management for Voriconazole was performed in four infants. Target levels were not achieved by the doses that are recommended.
    Conclusions: Rare fungal infections, predominantly cutaneous Aspergillosis affects the most immature preterm infants and may cause severe disease. Treatment with Voriconazole has a high rate of liver toxicity and target levels are difficult to achieve in extremely immature infants.

    Abstract To determine viral dynamics in Omicron breakthrough infections, we measured severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 RNA in 206 double-vaccinated or boostered individuals. During the first 3 days following the onset of symptoms, viral loads were significantly higher (cycle threshold [Ct], 21.76) in vaccinated compared to boostered (Ct, 23.14) individuals (P = .029). However, by performing a longitudinal analysis on 32 individuals over 14 days, no difference in the viral load trajectory was observed between double-vaccinated and boostered patients. Our results indicate that booster immunization results in a reduction in detectable viral loads without significantly changing viral load dynamics over time.

    Abstract Aim: The consequences of antibiotic overuse are substantial. We combined and analyzed the infection diagnoses and antibiotic prescribing practices of physicians in outpatient settings. Recommendations for targeting policy efforts to focused areas are given. Methods: Antibiotic prescriptions and infections diagnosed were provided by a German statutory health insurance provider over a 12-month period. Antibiotic use was expressed as prescriptions per 100 patients.Results: 2,594,000 patient-physician contacts within twelve months were analyzed. A median of 6.5 antibiotics was prescribed to 100 patients. Antibiotic use in private practice showed large variations between and within medical specialties (the upper quarter of physicians who prescribed above the 75 percentile of all prescriptions, at a rate of approximately 43%), by season (antibiotic prescription was 50% higher in winter than in summer) and a considerable proportion of the antibiotics prescribed did not conform with the recommendations of national guidelines. Fluoroquinolones, predominantly ciprofloxacin, were among the top three antibiotics prescribed by all physicians (except pediatricians), although national guidelines do not recommend these agents for uncomplicated respiratory or urinary tract infections. Respiratory tract infections headed the list for the prescription of antibiotics.Conclusions: Antibiotics were still not prescribed appropriately in respect to indication and selection (often unnecessary and/or too broad). We recommend focusing on I) high/over-prescribers, because improved and appropriate antibiotic prescription by this group would result in an over-proportionally lower antibiotic prescription rate, II) respiratory tract infections, because they represent the vast majority of infections treated in primary care and III) intelligent implementation strategies of guidelines.
